Abstract:

Language researchers and practitioners often adopt tools and techniques
without testing whether they really work as they should. This is
understandable because most scholars do not have the time or expertise to
properly evaluate the usefulness of all instruments, measures, and methods
they need. It is therefore critical to have problem solvers in the field who
gain the necessary expertise and take the time to scrutinize existing methods,
identify problems, and offer new solutions. This volume represents the work of
scholars who have done this; it is a collection of the latest advances,
developments, and innovations regarding the modeling and measurement of
learners’ vocabulary growth curves, current levels of vocabulary knowledge and
lexical proficiency, and the patterns of lexical diversity found in their
language production. Several of the contributors also address the complex but
important relationship between automated indices and human judgments of
learners’ lexical patterns and abilities.
